What happened

Two wins opened the week and briefly convinced the fanbase that "THE AGE OF ICE IS OVER, NOW COMES THE AGE OF THE SQUID." A 4-3 shootout survival against Detroit had people counting GRUU's perfect record, and the 5-3 over Utah got filed as a "Quality win vs quality opponent." Then Minnesota arrived and the 1-5 turned the group chat from emoji spam to "Liberty bibberty can get bipperty boppity fucked." Misery still only crept to 38. The jerseys, at least, remain undefeated.
